I am honored to be nominated for the position of Vice President for Annual Meetings on the ERAPPA Board of Directors.
For more than 20 years, I have built my career in educational facilities management, and I currently serve as Associate Director of Space and Asset Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In this role, I lead initiatives focused on strategic planning, GIS, asset management, and space utilization. Work that requires collaboration, innovation, and long-term planning to support the university’s mission.
For the past eight years, ERAPPA has played an important role in my professional growth. During that time, I have been fortunate to serve our community in a variety of ways, including as President of SNEAPPA, presenter at the ERAPPA Annual Conference, committee volunteer, and most recently, Co-Chair of ERAPPA 2026. These experiences have strengthened my appreciation for the relationships, knowledge sharing, and leadership that make our association so valuable.
As Vice President for Annual Meetings, I would be committed to advancing ERAPPA’s vision of inspiring and promoting excellence in educational facilities. I believe our annual conference is one of the organization’s greatest strengths, a place where members build lasting professional connections, exchange innovative ideas, discover new solutions, and return to their campuses better equipped to serve their institutions.
Throughout my career, I have believed that the best ideas come from collaboration and a willingness to continuously improve. I would bring that same philosophy to the ERAPPA Board; listening to our members, supporting our volunteers, and working alongside fellow leaders to ensure our annual meetings continue to deliver outstanding educational opportunities, meaningful networking, and exceptional value.
It would be a privilege to serve ERAPPA in this role, and I would sincerely appreciate your support.
